Hilde and Ruth Simon papers 

folder 1 

The papers consist of two letters sent by sisters Hilde and Ruth Simon, who had traveled from Germany to Harrogate, England on a Kindertransport in 1939, to the Mizrachi family in the United States. The Mizrachi family sponsored the sisters to immigrate to the United States in 1944. The first letter, dated 1 October 1939, thanks the Mizrachis for agreeing to sponsor them. The second letter, dated 10 April 1943, gives an update on the sisters' lives in England and expreses their continued wish to immigrate to the United States when it is possible. 

The collection is arranged as a single folder.
